Re: [Xen-users] help convert vmdk to xen



Note that, depending on the type of VMDK file you're using, it's already in a state where you can use it in Xen.  I'm not sure about VMware Server 2, but in VMware ESX/ESXi, there are two files for each disk - <diskname>.vmdk, the descriptor file, and <diskname>-flat.vmdk, the data.  The -flat.vmdk file is essentially the same as a Xen RAW file, so you can use it directly with Xen.
